g8.bat is not able to download templates on a Windows PC about giter8

I can't think of what that would be, but where soon moving to a different underlying http client and if we're lucky the problem will go away then.

Or more likely, this is related to private repositories. Could you try again with the newly released giter8, and a newly acquired auth token? http://implicit.ly/giter8-045

Hi, I'm sorry but even with the new 0.4.5 g8 version I get the same error ...

Exception fetching from github org/apache/http/HttpRequest

Is there something (that g8 uses) that I can try to cleanup ?

Thank you very much,
Sandro

Same on OS X 10.7.3/1.6.0_31.
In addition: no one packet from Java process is sent to network in this conversation

I had same problem. No amount of proxy setting on sbt helped - I have been using SBT behind proxy without issues before installing giter8. I changed from JDK7 to JDK6 and the change did not help. Finally, the following modification in the file g8.bat fixed my problem.

"%_JAVACMD%" %_JAVA_OPTS% %SBT_OPTS% "%bootprop%" -Dhttp.proxyHost=<proxy> -Dhttp.proxyPort=<port> -cp "%SBT_HOME%sbt-launch.jar" xsbt.boot.Boot %*

This is quirky because setting the proxy options using SBT_OPTS as follows did not work.
set SBT_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=web-proxy.cup.hp.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080"

Is this still a problem on the latest giter8?
